Everyone has their own rhythms, and you should never, ever take it personally when somebody doesn&#39;t respond. That way lies too many hurt feelings and eventual madness.

The RSVPing in particular is disturbing, but it all falls into the continued demise of manners. I&#39;m OK with cross-media RSVPing (like text me after I e-mail you) but tell me if you&#39;re coming! <br /><br />Circa 2003, my pops and I instituted a NRN (No Reply Needed) tag on any e-mail that was just a link or a heads up and didn&#39;t need a reply. We also agreed that it was OK to end our e-mails with just the first letters of our names instead of typing it all out, so we&#39;re basically pioneers all around. <br /><br />That said, I&#39;m guilty of putting off longer responses (like to old friends) and taking forever to reply. The guilt of not keeping in touch compounds and the final e-mail is dripping with apologies, so everyone loses. It&#39;s my recurring New Year&#39;s resolution, one bullet point on a long list entitled Be A Better Person.

The only reason I wouldn&#39;t respond is because (1) I wanted the person to take the hint that I&#39;m not that interested in maintaining a relationship with him/her (acquaintances or professional contacts with whom I don&#39;t want to become friends), or (2) I was trying to passive-aggressively convey that they email me way too frequently and I just don&#39;t have time to respond to all their emails (like my mother). <br /><br />That said, I think some people don&#39;t like to just send a &quot;thanks!&quot; and fully intend to compose a more thoughtful and comprehensive response later, but then forget because they are disorganized and don&#39;t have a system for flagging email for later response. Which I think is annoying in itself, but whatever. <br /><br />Bottom line: YOU ARE RIGHT 100%GGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02261527701229835583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301407940699570948.post-51342280063928639282012-12-06T10:03:45.915-08:002012-12-06T10:03:45.915-08:00Each scenario elicits a response.

Stop bugging me with your stupid emails.&quot;But more appreciated is a, &quot;Hey thanks...&quot;.<br /><br />Along the same lines is failure to RSVP. I&#39;ve had 2 different friends lately who are horrible at RSVPing, both complain about how someone didn&#39;t RSVP to his/her event.FineWashablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14683745658485218882noreply@blogger.com
